Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru

Synopsis

Kansei University's battle to achieve official records formally begins. Having already achieved their official records, Musa, Jota, and Joji watch the race with Hanako. Kakeru joins the lead pack and competes with exchange students from strong schools. Meanwhile, the stagnating Shindo and Yuki utilize their strengths to make a strong effort towards achieving an official time. During the final lap, Haiji's words cut through Kakeru's mind. "Do you like running?" In that moment, something inside him opens, and Kakeru bangs out an astonishing time. After the race, a lone reporter approaches Kakeru, and the mysterious man with the camera introduces himself to the boys as Shinjitsu Weekly's Shuji Mochizuki. Mr. Mochizuki seems to know that Kakeru was part of a track team of a prestigious high school. Haiji takes the whole group to Lake Shirakaba for a training camp. Tokyo Sport Uni also happens to be there at the same location. Haiji continues to encourage Kakeru with training advice. After being provoked by reminders of the past, Kakeru is triggered to dash forward to unleash his emotions upon his former-teammate from high school, Sakaki.
